these figures in 1857 Bennett New Era
An honest cohesion is good for The
soul, and we are now ready to confess
that Abilene will get the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe in spite of Tebo or any

Denison, BOnham and Southeastern is
receiving all encouragement at the hands

| stationary from the chairman of the rail
road committee ct Albany. Mr.. Parvn
will see the land owners, both north and
south of Baird at once. We hope The
people will extend liberal showing
toward this enterprise. The county
ought to give the right of way as also a
bonus to q north and south line. The
building the road would place thousands
of dollars in circulation in Callahan
county and add largely to our population.

Within the next year Denison is almost
sure to have three more railway outlets.
The Bonham extension, the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe from the north, and
the Denison and Washita northeast. The
connections ale not only possible, but in
the nature OF things, probable. With
new railroads comes population and pros
perity. There is q boom in the near future for
Denison that will exceed the expectation
of the most sGnguine. Everything is
shaping that way DenisOn Morning

Albany don't want the earth nor ell the
railroads thereon. All she wants is the
Gulf, Colorado and SAINTS Fe from Cole
man, the branch OF the Fort Worth West
ern from Young county, and the extension
from Gainesville of the Missouri Pacific
via this place to Abilene. That will 90
her for the present in the way of rail
roads, but she would like good wooden
mill, Il large cotton gin, few factories of
different kinds to utilize the abundant
supply of pure water, and then last. bu.
not by any means least, she wants lO,00)
more study farmers to till the rich, pro

There has passed up the old cattle trail
since 1878, 2,32l.O 900 cattle This is an
average of over 25O, 900 a year. BY allow
ing twenty head to the car, it viii take
Il, 800 cars every year to handle the cat
tie. Twenty cars to the train and it will
take 625 trains. or three trains day for
q little over six months. Quite a nice
little business, isn't it? That's a part |
the business that the railroad running |
up the old cattle trail will DO
the first year. We say nothiUg about the |
thousands of horses that have been
driven up the trail, which VIII have to be
shipped in the future, nor the tens of
thousands of sheep, nor the WOO and
other products of the country that wants
IL outlet to the north. If railroads are
Quilt TO make money, We will have one
'unning north snd south viz the way OF
he old cattle trail before eighteen
months, because it is q paying route
